Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees. In a medium sauce pan over medium heat, place all fruit filling ingredients into the pan and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally.

Immediately remove from heat once it is at a boil. Pour into a quart casserole dish or deep dish baking pan and set aside.

In a medium bowl, combine flour and brown sugar, mix thoroughly. Add melted butter and mix until all combined and moistened. Grab some and squeeze together to form clumps about the size of walnuts.

Sprinkle the crumbs on top of fruit mixture. Some make sink, but that is fine.

Place in oven on a baking sheet or sheets of foil in case it boils over during baking. Bake for 50 minutes.

Remove from oven and let cool for at least one hour prior to serving.

Serve with Vanilla Ice Cream or Whipped Cream.

Enjoy!
